he's right,to my dismay the other day i wanted to buy a frappe for my mother from mcdonalds and boy one freaking frappe is now 5.00 bucks and i kid you not and that was the smaller size that i usually buy for my mother (personally i dont like coffee)

yeah things are really getting out of hand and i agree its not 7 percent inflation. more like 15-25 percent depending on the stuff that you want to buy. food is really expensive right now. we spend over 200 bucks each time we do a super

CONvid policies and the raising of the minimum wage has brought us this problem and its all on purpose.

you should also mention the war in east europe, that too drives up inflation. Ask market strategists if you don't believe me.

Those Starbucks frappes used to be around $5, McDonald's was the cheaper option. No idea what Starbucks charges now, I bet it's closer to $7.

Seriously, like a year's worth of flour for $13. Depends on how you use it but still.

Bag of chips went from 10 euros per kg to 15 euros per kg in one week. Poof, all stores.

Some of that is still a good deal. I really need to shop at costco. I have a feeling the oligarchy is telling the standard grociers to give up on their margin for appearances. Politics over profit seems to be something they can get companies to do. Because Costco is a wholesaler they might not have as much wiggle room. Basically it would be reasonable for wholesale prices to lead retail prices.

The overpriced grocery store was happy to let everything double. I have no idea what their martin's are, but they know that the price of everything nonfood went up at least 25% in basically the Biden years.

It's all bad. They are wanting $15.99 for 200+ pieces of Halloween candy at all the stores. Milk is especially bad. All the OTC drugs, even the store brand knock offs are expensive.

Remember to humor yourself in November 2024 by giving yourself the illusion of choice!!

I still buy the same groceries I always have, I'm not paying 75% more, are you?

Depends on where I’m buying. From local the price has gone up just a little, from big box stores the price hike is more noticeable than that hairy wart on your mother-in-laws left cheek.

If not 50% up the. You're well insulated.
